from damage from overcharging.
Specific Absorption Rate (IEEE)
SAR (IEEE) Your model wireless phone meets the governmental requirements
for exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured to
not exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and by the Canadian
regulatory authorities. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed for the safety of all persons, regardless of age or health, and to account
for any variations in measurements.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The IEEE SAR limit set by the FCC and by the Canadian
regulatory authorities is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg), averaged over one gram of tissue.
Tests for SAR are conducted using procedures accepted by the FCC and by Industry
Canada with the mobile device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequencies. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level,
the actual SAR level of the mobile device while operating can be below the maximum
value. This is because the mobile device is designed to operate at multiple power levels
so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are
to a wireless base station, the lower the power output.
Before a mobile device is available for sale to the public in the U.S. and Canada, it must
be tested and certified to the FCC and Industry Canada that it does not exceed the limit
established by each government for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions
and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) submitted to the FCC and available
for review by Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this mobile device when tested
for use at the ear is 1.53 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described in this guide, is
1.43 W/kg. Body-worn measurements can differ, depending upon available accessories
